Commissioners To Consider Pending Litigation In Connection With Turkey Creek Fuel Spill
Hopkins County Commissioners Court will be asked to consider taking action against Delek Logistics, the company involved in the Turkey Creek pipeline fuel spill in October of 2019.
Approximately one year ago, Hopkins County Commissioners Court sought legal assistance in attempts to get Delek Logistics to pay for damages reportedly caused by heavy trucks using Precinct 1 and 4 roads while responding to the Oct. 3, 2019, fuel spill. A six-inch pipeline ruptured, after diesel was pushed through the pipeline after a two month maintenance program. Diesel ran into the nearby waterway. The pipeline was shut down and mitigation was started to contain the diesel. The creek bed was dry and the spill contained before getting into any other water way, thanks to the quick work of county and emergency responders.
A remediation company was contracted to place a boom to prevent the spill from traveling downstream. Local community volunteers under the direction of the Hopkins County Office of Emergency Management built a temporary earthen barrier in the event the boom was insufficient, emergency management officials reported Oct. 4, 2019.
The State of Texas State Operations Center on Oct. 4 reported 10,000 to 15,000 barrels of product were to have been released during the incident.
Much of the creek bed along the 1.25-mile stretch of Turkey Creek was dry, with only a few pockets of water, which helped stop the spread before it got into the drinking water. Some fish in those small pockets of water were found dead after the first day or response, officials reported.
On Monday, Oct. 7, a total of 24,186 barrels of substance had reportedly been removed from the area. However, Hopkins County emergency management officials reported not all contained product, some were mostly water. An estimated 10,048 barrels were diesel.
According to EPA officials at the command center on Oct. 11, the quick response to contain the spill and remove the product so quickly, was expected to result in no long term damage to the creek and surrounding environment. An area of soil around the pipeline leak would have to be replaced, but the creek itself wasn’t expected to have to be remediated, according to the EPA official.
“Hopkins County employees and their equipment did a lot of work the night of that spill to keep that flow of diesel from going into Lake Fork. We provided anything they asked for and we did have a gentlemen’s agreement that they would take care of our roads, which now they are not following through,” Precinct 1 Commissioner Mickey Barker said during a December 2020 Commissioners Court session.
“His crew did really save the day for us out there. It was hours out before they ever got any equipment in there. His crews already had it stopped, diked and dammed. They did an outstanding job,” Hopkins County Fire Marshal Andy Endsley said in 2020 as well.
Once crews contracted by the company arrived, they began to clean up the fuel that was spilled, requiring heavy trucks to travel on county roads.
Endsley emphasized the subcontractors who performed the cleanup did a “good job on it” and “were on top of their game.” He said he has no complaint with their efforts.
However, Delek Logistics has not honored the agreement to restore county roads damaged in the cleanup effort, county officials contend. In addition to the gentlemen’s agreement, federal environmental regulations regarding hazardous material incidents stipulate that the company is responsible for paying 100 percent back to take care of damages, including county roads, county officials contended.
Barker and Precinct 4 Commissioner Joe Price had to spend quite a bit of money repairing roads damaged and at some places completely destroyed, and others the base beneath the the county roads were destroyed by the more than 500 overloaded trucks that traveled up and down the county roads during the clean up, Barker noted in December 2020. Price at that time also reported 4 miles or county road in Precinct 4 were heavily damaged by the heavy, overloaded trucks. The Precinct 4 Commissioner had at that time spent over $10,000 to repair one short strip of road where the trucks stopped to enter FM 275. Barker in December 2020 had spent $30,000 in materials to patch roads and crushed culverts.
In December 2020, the court approved County Fire Marshal Andy Endsley’s recommendation put Allison, Bass & Magee, LLP, on retainer to try to move the legal process of getting Delek Logistics to honor their gentleman’s agreement for the company to see that the roads damaged by their contractors and responders are repairs.
During the 9 a.m. meeting Monday, Dec. 27, 2021, Hopkins County Commissioners Court will be asked to consider and take action concerning pending litigation against Delek Logistics pursuit to Texas Government Code Section 551.071.

A Love Affair With Western Swing Music
Enola Gay Mathews shares her own story of how Western Swing music, the Official Music of Texas, became a career-long interest for her, and her plans to continue following the music genre.
I’ve got a love affair going with Western Swing music. According to my mom, I probably heard it before I was even born, as she danced to it in her youth back in wide, wild West Texas. Western Swing is uniquely Texan, although you may hear polka, waltz, boogie woogie, swing, bohemian or schottische interpretations. It’s free-spirited as a mustang with the durability of a Longhorn. Derived from a tangle of varied roots, Western Swing music salutes our singular pride in being Texan, whether we were born here or not, and celebrates the swagger and the tenderness of love that remains forever young. It’s timeless, yet always timely and exciting for dancers of any and all ages. No wonder it’s the official music of Texas! My latest rendezvous with Western Swing was at the Cowtown Birthplace of Western Swing Festival in Fort Worth, ‘Where the West Begins’.
As a radio DJ, I’ve been blessed to play country music for Northeast Texas radio listeners daily for decades. But in 1999, on a chance visit to the Stockyards of Fort Worth, I personally ‘discovered’ Western Swing, and immediately married my inherent love for the music into my career. In due course, recognition by various Western Swing associations came along for my support of the genre, including a Western Swing Hero and a Cowtown Hall of Fame induction. So, not surprisingly, when I heard in that the origin of Western Swing was being researched for a full-length documentary film, I jumped at the chance to attend the exclusive preview!
The Cowtown Birthplace of Western Swing Festival would be host of a 3-day invitational event in…where else but Fort Worth, Cowtown!…and would include a symposium, tours of historic venues, celebrities, entertainment, dining, dancing and the private film viewing. Mike Markwart, President of the new CBWS Association, delivered an epic experience with a who’s who in Texas entertainment and the finest Western Swing and traditional country music bands in the Southwest, each performing onstage at the grand old National Hall historic venue on Fort Worth’s northside. The spacious solid oak dance floor and in-house Western Swing museum put me in my element! Per my VIP status, festival day trips included a chartered excursion to the Stockyards, live audience seating at a taping of RFD-TV The Cowboy Channel, plus lunch and live entertainment at the historic Longhorn Saloon. Each night, (night started at 4pm!) there were 8 hours of dancing to three different bands as well as a lavish dinner prepared by a popular Czech chef. The final day featured the exclusive pre-showing of the groundbreaking documentary film – The Birth & History of Western Swing. I gave it five stars! And I got a special personal thrill when I saw Bob and Joe Shelton and the Sunshine Band (founders of the Reilly Springs Jamboree) spotlighted along with other early influencers of the music! The Birth & History of Western Swing was to debut in the Metroplex in October 2021, with a PBS premiere expected in early 2022. Markwardt believes the 110-minute film on this American form of music rivals Ken Burns’ 2019 ‘Country Music’ in scope. You can see the film’s trailer on a link below.
Birth of Western Swing To document the footpath of the beloved music was a long-held dream for Markwardt, Fort Worth businessman and music enthusiast. History shows that in 1931 in Fort Worth, Texas, two great talents formed the beginning of the dance music genre. Neither of them had a band of their own at the time. Soon, Milton Brown, a Texas bandleader and vocalist, was said to be first to fuse hillbilly, jazz and pop together into a uniquely, distinctly American hybrid. His brief but unforgettable career would, long after his death, rightfully honor him with the title of “Father of Western Swing”. His upbeat hot-jazz string band sound was developed at Chrystal Springs Dancehall (and Swimmin’ Hole) in Fort Worth from1931 to 1936. Along with Bob Wills, with whom he’d played early on, Brown’s Musical Brownies Orchestra made the sound and style of Western Swing popular, and for awhile was more in demand for dances than Wills’ Texas Playboys! Sadly, Brown’s career was cut short in a fatal car crash in 1936, just as he was poised to break into national stardom. As a Texan and lifelong fan of Western Swing, it became Markwardt’s vision to mark the product of their collaboration by commemorating the music’s 90th anniversary.
In a search of the website birthplaceofwesternswing.com, the genre is described. “The Birth & History of Western Swing is an ambitious film project that seeks to document an important development in 20th century popular music that has yet to be examined in a feature-length study. The reasons why such a project hasn’t yet been done, after 90 years since its birth in a ramshackle dancehall on the outskirts of Fort Worth, Texas, are what make it uniquely important in American music. Western swing combined elements of black, white, and ethnic music styles in a way that historians have never known where to place it. Is it jazz? Is it country? Is it folk? The answer to all of these questions is yes, it is all of these things, but western swing’s marginality to each of those genres has been such that it has always been put on documentarians’ back burner.” You may access the film trailer at the following link: http://historyofwesternswing.com/ .
My love affair with Western Swing is never going to die. “It gets down into your soul,” said championship fiddler and bandleader Jody Nix, who grew up traveling with his dad in Bob Wills’ band. I can’t imagine life without the music. Some of my own favorite Western Swing selections which have received mainstream radio play include “Route 66” by Asleep at the Wheel, “Oklahoma Hills” by Hank Thompson and the Brazos Valley Boys, “Got That Old Fashioned Love in My Heart” by Michael Martin Murphy with Suzy Bogguss, “Cherokee Maiden” by Merle Haggard, Willie’s version of “Stay All Night, Stay a Little Longer” and the Playboys’ arrangements of “Take Me Back to Tulsa” and “The Kind of Love I Can’t Forget, Dear”. They’re favorites because of the dance-ability as well as the romance of the lyrics. Listen to your favorites again on Youtube or from your home library, even on vinyl! And dance if you still can! Start your own love affair with the music. You’ll want to be ready as the star of Western Swing claims even greater heights! I’d love to get input on your affection for Western Swing at [email protected].
Enola’s final music stop of the year was on December 16, 2021 for the annual “Cowboy Christmas Ball” at Anson, Texas. First held at Christmastime in 1885, the Ball has endured through several wars, Depression, prohibition, droughts and fierce winters. The historic Texas social event is colorfully illustrated in Michael Martin Murphy’s million-seller recording of “The Cowboy’s Christmas Ball”. The traditional three-night event is held at Pioneer Hall in the heart of ranching country in Jones County, Texas and is an experience you won’t forget, even if you aren’t a dancer. If you’d like to get tickets to attend next year, go to texas ccb.com.
Murphey’s newest endeavor is a movie based on his hit ballad “Wildfire” which was recorded in the 1970’s. Titled “Wildfire, the Legend of the Cherokee Ghost Horse” it is a family movie based on a young girl’s friendship with a horse. Many the horses which appear in the movie are descendants of Murphy’s mare he named Wildfire, and on which he based the hit song.
Fun and Friends At KSST Retirement Reception For Enola Gay Mathews, 32-Year Employee
On December 22, 2021, just two days before her last day on the air, KSST owners and staff held a Retirement Reception in Enola Gay Mathews’ honor in the KSST Channel 18 TV studio.
Sulphur Springs Mayor John Sellers read a proclamation from Sulphur Springs City Council, recognizing Enola Gay for her long tenure and outstanding performance as a disc jockey at KSST, her notoriety for her love of Western Swing music, her commission as a Yellow Rose of Texas and various local awards for community service.
Over a two hour period, many friends drifted in to say “congratulations,” enjoy a sandwich plate and slice of cake, and visit awhile with Enola and friends.
Enola Gay was hired in August 1989 and soon became the Good Morning Show host. After 32 1/2 years, she’s decided it’s time to spend more time with grandchildren and to continue writing, a skill she enjoys and hopes to improve by doing more!
Friends, listeners, business associates and well-wishers dropped in during the 2-hour come and go event.
KSST Station Manager and Owner Chad Young read a heartfelt email submitted by Kelly Grimes, noting Enola’s early days at the station, and the way she has become a member of the Bradford family. Kelly and Dwayne Grimes were unable to attend the event, but made sure to express their congratulations.
Chad Young will take over the microphone to continue to inform and entertain KSST listeners on KSST’s Good Morning Show beginning next week.
“As we move forward, we will continue to keep our KSST listeners informed in the way they have been accustomed,” he said.

Recall: Dole Fresh Vegetables Packaged Salads Processed In NC, AZ Plants Due to Possible Listeria
Dole Fresh Vegetables Announces a Voluntary Precautionary Recall of all Dole-branded and private label packaged salads processed at its Bessemer City, NC and Yuma, AZ processing facilities due to a possible health risk from Listeria monocytogenes.
Dole Fresh Vegetables, Inc.,is voluntarily recalling from the market all Dole-branded and private label packaged salads processed at its Bessemer City, NC and its Yuma, AZ production facilities due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes and is also temporarily suspending operations at both facilities to conduct an extensive cleaning and sanitation protocol. Products subject to the voluntary recall are identified by a product lot code beginning with the either the letter “N” or “Y” in the upper right-hand corner of the package (see examples below) and will have a “Best if Used By” date between November 30, 2021, and January 8, 2022. Consumers who still have any of these products in their refrigerators are urged not to consume the product and to discard it immediately.
This suspension of operations and recall are being performed voluntarily by Dole out of an abundance of caution, in collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The decision to suspend operations and recall all products from these facilities was made after analyzing the strain of Listeria monocytogenes isolated in a single package of Dole-branded Garden Salad produced in the Bessemer City facility and a single package of shredded iceberg lettuce produced in the Yuma, AZ facility. Both of those items were randomly sampled by the state of Georgia and the state of Michigan, respectively, and were a genetic match with a strain of Listeria monocytogenes which FDA and CDC believe is responsible for sixteen illnesses since 2014.
Listing of products subject to each of these recalls is set forth below.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
Recalled salad items from the Bessemer City facility were distributed in the states of AL, CT, FL, GA, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MS, NC, NY, OH, PA, SC, TN, and VA. Recalled salad items from the Yuma facility were distributed in the states of AL, AZ, CT, FL, IA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MA, MI, MN, MS, NC, ND, NY, OH, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, and WI.
No products produced from Dole facilities in Springfield, OH (production/lot codes beginning with “W”) or Soledad, CA (production/lot codes beginning with “B”) are included in these voluntary recalls. In addition, no other Dole products, including “ready-to-eat” salad products, fresh fruit, and field-packed fresh vegetables, are part of these voluntary recalls and are safe to consume.
Dole retailers have been advised to check store shelves and warehouse inventories to confirm that no recalled product is available for purchase by consumers.
Retailer and consumer questions about the voluntary recalls should be directed to the Dole Consumer Response Center at 800-356-3111, Monday—Friday, 8:00am to 3:00pm Pacific Time.
Dole Fresh Vegetables is coordinating closely with regulatory officials.
